Look dey come tuh build dey empire

Talk Yuh Talk [Song]

Uploaded by IsDePanInMe
TALK YUH TALK
Yeah! Revelation!

He promised the fire next time
He promised the fire next time
He promised, He promised, He promised, He promised,
He promised the fire next time, next time
And who ain't dead, they badly wounded
Who ain't dead, badly wounded
Who ain't dead, they badly wounded
Who ain't dead, badly wounded!

Talk yuh talk, you mocking pretender
I check your lyrics and a come fuh test you
Far too long yuh foolin' the children
Fillin' their head with brainwash education.

Doomsday reach, boy, plan your retreat
'Cause the children coming to take back the street
The power of the word in the conscious stylin'
Paving the way for a brand new morning
I say, the power of the word in the rapso stylin'
Rocking the roots of the vampire system.

Talk yuh talk, you mocking pretender
Talk yuh talk, you bloody deceiver
Yalk yuh talk, you serpent master
Talk yuh talk, you friggin' oppressor.

We going right down to the heart of the matter
Where reality bites and illusions shatter
Right down to the heart of the matter
The tide go bust and reality scatter.

He promised the fire next time
He promised the fire next time
He promised, He promised, He promised, He promised,
He promised the fire next time, next time
And who ain't dead, they badly wounded
Who ain't dead, badly wounded
Who ain't dead, they badly wounded
Who ain't dead, badly wounded!

Talk yuh talk, you mocking pretender!
I check your lyrics and I come fuh test you
Far too long you foolin' the children
Fillin' their head with brainwash education.

Doomsday reach, plan your retreat
'Cause the children comin' to take back the street
The power of the word in the conscious stylin'
I say, the power of the word in the rapso stylin'
Rocking the roots of the vampire system.

Talk yuh talk, you mocking pretender!
Talk yuh talk, you bloody deceiver!
Talk yuh talk, you serpent master!
Talk yuh talk, you friggin' oppressor!

Chatter, chatter, chatter, only cealesss chatter
We going right down to the heart of the matter
Chatter, chatter, chatter, what is the matter
I can't seem to stop this ceaseless chatter
Chatter, chatter, chatter, going round in my head
Oh lord, oh lord, like they want me to dead
Everybody talking, nobody listening
Oh my god, what, what really happening?.......

Revelation vibes!!!

Cah Nah Val

By Gene Wilkes

The silly season come back again,
Soca crap blasting everywhere,
And the themesong is "Start to wine,
Jump and wave like yuh just eh care".
Ah too tired ah de ta-ta
And getting fed up ah de fete,
Contempt for caca-lypso grows
Every year as older I get.
So-called soca lacking lyrics,
They doh generate light, just heat,
Mas' music minus melody:
Jump, jump, jump and wave to de beat.
Ah does tune in to de radio
Longing for a long time lavway,
With witty, humorous content
To make me laugh and dingolay.
This all inclusive Carnahval
Now exclude so many ah we...
Soon, goin to fete and playing mas'
Go be for the very wealthy.
I cyar spend six hundred dollars
And jam up to jump up and sweat,
Plus, I doh drink Scotch or Champagne,
So mih money's worth ah cyar get.
Playing mas now is for de Bees,
Bikini, Beads, Bum Bum and Breast,
Body Art- the latest answer
For those who want to play undressed.
It eh ha' no more wire bending,
No more papier mache again,
Whole costume coming from China,
Supplied profitably by plane.
What about the Costume Industry
Dat we boast about years ago?
Like the Callaloo Company
Dat exported costumes for so.
But then say what, we like it so,
We eh diggin nutten, we free!
At least for two days every year
All ah we is one famalee!
Still, please be careful on the road
When you on the way to the fete,
That some driver eh lose control
And so cause you to meet yuh death.
And make sure doh mash nobody
Or bounce dem too hard on the floor,
Plenty people blood near they skin,
And dey eh takin dat no more !
